Governor of Kogi State Distributes Security Gadgets to Hunters to Combat Crimes

In a bid to enhance security and combat criminal activities in Kogi State, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo distributed security gadgets to 1,050 hunters on Thursday. The Governor expressed his administration’s unwavering commitment to dealing decisively with anyone who threatens the peace of the state, emphasizing that Kogi State will not tolerate being a breeding ground for criminals.

During the distribution event, Governor Ododo charged the hunters to maintain professionalism and work hand in hand with other security agencies to rid the state of crimes. He stressed the importance of protecting the people of Kogi State and urged the hunters to take decisive action against criminals.

“My administration has adopted both kinetic and non-kinetic approaches to ensure the security of our people. Kogites, we must protect ourselves. If we don’t do it, nobody will do it for us. Kogi State is not a free trade zone for criminals. When you see them, deal with them decisively. Criminals must be wiped out of our land. When you are coming with a criminal mind, we are ever ready to take you out. Once again, when you see criminals, deal with them,” Governor Ododo stated.

Onuoha urged members of the hunters’ association and vigilantes to collaborate with other security agencies to eradicate criminal elements from Kogi State. He called for unity and cooperation among all security forces to ensure the safety of law-abiding citizens in the state.

The distribution of security gadgets to hunters is seen as a proactive measure by the Kogi State government to strengthen security and maintain peace in the region. With the collective effort of security agencies and local hunters, the state aims to create a safer environment for its residents.
